Nissan Stadium is a good reminder that not every venue has to be the newest one to be a good time…read more Yes, it's showing its age. And yes, there's a shiny new stadium rising next door that's going to steal a lot of attention. But for now, Nissan Stadium still gets the job done. Whether you're there for a Titans game or a concert, the sightlines are good, the sound is solid, and getting there is surprisingly easy. One of my favorite parts is the walk across the pedestrian bridges from Lower Broadway and downtown. It's a uniquely Nashville experience, especially when thousands of fans are all heading the same direction. The stadium itself isn't fancy by modern standards, but it remains functional, accessible, and enjoyable. I've had good experiences here, and that's ultimately what matters. A little older. A little worn. Still a good time. Four stars.

The new Nissan Stadium in Nashville is a 2.1-million-square-foot, 60,000-seat enclosed venue under…read moreconstruction on the East Bank of the Cumberland River, scheduled for completion in February 2027. It will feature a translucent roof, 360-degree concourses, and 38% closer seating to the field, designed to host NFL, college football, concerts, and major events like the Super Bowl. Gayle and I had the chance to watch all the construction up close as we navigated from the pedestrian bridge to the Edgefield neighborhood. That included a non-ADA compliant walk-around to get to the bridge over the Interstate. This was a huge operation and we got as close as we could without trespassing. Then there's the present Nissan Stadium that will be torn down (for a parking lot) after the new Stadium is finished. This is the home of the NFL's Tennessee Titans, formally the Houston Oilers. Opened in 1999, this 67,000+ capacity open-air venue hosts football games, concerts, and major events like the CMA Music Festival. Game Day is probably pretty exciting here (including before and after Broadway).

I like Bridgestone Arena! I've seen several great bands perform there! Most recently, my Sorority…read moreSister and I saw Iron Maiden at Bridgestone! We both love the lead singer, Bruce Dickinson and their mascot, Eddie! This was a great show: the "Legacy of the Beast" tour! Like Yelper Kayla S., mentioned, Bridgestone is super close to Broadway, making it typically a quick walk from your hotel, which is a huge bonus! Sorority Sister and I saw a legendary 80s hair band there, too, who also put on a great show! I don't think it was Def Leppard; however that's the closest band I see on the Bridgestone concert archives website. It was funny because the drummer, who was dressed in his best 80s leotard tights, and 80s t-shirt, bounded out of (his and our) hotel building running late for the show! He jumped into a cab and went around the corner straight to Bridgestone. Bridgestone does a good job with security; they have all the eats and drinks you could want; their merch is always displayed well, priced well, and readily available. I love Bridgestone!

Bridgestone is by far my favorite large event venue in Nashville. The crowd management is top notch…read moreand I never feel like I'm waiting in long lines, even when the event is sold out. The staff is friendly, helpful, and efficient. Some of the seats near the top are very narrow when it comes to legroom, so be prepared to stand up and stretch sometimes. If you're at a predators game, this will be no problem as the crowd likes to get loud and proud! If at a concert, the "nosebleeds" are still relatively close to the action and climate controlled vs the outdoor/stadium venue options around town. Parking can be expensive on Broadway, so a ride share might be a better option if you can walk a couple blocks for pickup.

From the setting, the music, the food and the massive amounts of whiskey, bourbon and shine, I can now say, "I know my stuff about these distilled liquids!" The festival was held in TPAC's War Memorial Auditorium. It was a stand out place to have this festival. The outside had a small beer garden and Riff's Fine Foods was there serving up some awesome food. I have to say, the Mac and Cheese paired well with my Jackaloupe Rompo. (I am not even thinking about the calories consumed this day). The inside was set up in a circle for the sampling. It made it very organized and easy to travel from booth to booth. I loved the live music. I thought I had died and went to heaven when I realized I would be listening to Bluegrass Music for 4 hours. Now the best part of this event was the actual tasting of the spirits. I know more about what I like and what is out there and I forsee spending a little bit more money for the ones I really liked! (Sorry Bank Account!) Some of the stand outs that I had not heard of where the following: Wasmunds, Big Bottom and MB Roland Distillery. I was a big fan of all of those. I also liked the showcase of the hometown heros too! I loved Speakeasy Distillery's Whisper Creek Tennessee Sipping Cream! I am for sure kicking Bailey's Irish Creme to the curb now. It was great to see Belle Meade, Corsair, and Prichards. Collier and McKeel were also pretty cool, I will have to try them more too! I did miss out on the seminars. I kinda want to kick myself for that, but I was just having so much fun listening to the music. And lastly...some tips: Next year hydrate the crap out of yourself. Drink a ton of water before, after and during. There is a lot of spirits and beer to try. Even though the samples were mini....you will get a little or a lot buzzed (depending on your size/gender/you know all the scientific stuff) Thank you Smile Water for providing the H20 and thank you YELP for the hydration station. That being said....do not drink and drive. More props to the event for making cabs very accessible. That is a huge thumbs up in my book. While I did not utilize a cab service (I opted for a walk downtown to a local eatery), I did see some people using the cabs. Lastly, go to Midtown Spirits and support these distilleries. I want them to come back next year and they all deserve a bump in their sales!

The consoles were amazing and so were the arcade machines. It's nice to be able to buy a soda and a snack. I also love the fact that there were some console games for sale. This place has everything. I am a small lineup of games myself I understand what it's like to keep them up. I was amazed at all these games were working. A few of the games have to use flat screens but that's a tiny price to pay to place such an amazing lineup of machines. In fact I was just mostly in awe! I've been to the big museum that used to exist in Banning, CA., and I would say this place not only rivals it, but, beats it because it's open all the time. It also has I feel the widest variety of machines something for everybody. I can't say enough about it I will definitely be back again!

It is basically a no frills warehouse filled with the largest selection of pinball and arcade games I have ever seen. Most of the games work and are set to free play.

You can buy, sell, and/or trade classic console games at the front. There is so much offered in one location.
